Abstract
Smartwatches these days have gained popularity under wearable device category. Consumers of smartwatches consider several factors while choosing smartwatches. On this premise, the current research is undertaken to identify the determinants of the smartwatch adoption.

To suit context, the present study has extended UTAUT2 model by incorporating self-efficacy (SEF), personal innovativeness (PINNO), social media influence (SMI), social image (SIMG), aesthetics (AES) and external social influence (ESI). To validate and check the explanatory power of the extended UTAUT2 model the study has considered Structural equation modelling using Smart PLS 2.0.The results arrived in this study has concluded that the extended UTAUT2 model has a better explanatory power on behavioural intention towards smartwatch adoption. Effect size (f2) and predictive relevance (Q2) for the extended UTAUT2 model are also discussed.
